One of the most dramatic discoveries in recent times is the direct linking of bone to the natural regulation of blood sugar in your body. This new science demonstrates that bones are actually an endocrine organ. It has been found that osteoblasts secrete a protein called osteocalcin that is not only involved in the formation of bone density but acts as a...

While virtually any type of stress is potential wear and tear for bones. One form, too many toxins, can wreak havoc with bone strength and optimal bone health. For example, the cadmium in cigarettes is known to displace zinc within bone structure. This means that smoking is inherently weakening to your bone mass, not only because it reduces the flow of...

The natural drop in estrogen at the time of menopause is a stressor to bone health. It is particularly important to maintain a good supply of basic bone nutrients (such as Daily Bone Xcel™), as well as nutrients that help modulate bone stress (such as Bone & Joint Helper™ and Daily DHA™ or Leptinal®).*There is no short cut to good bone health.

Vitamin D supplementation may be quite important for those living in the northern climates especially during the winter, as there is little chance of getting vitamin D from the sun during colder months.* We provide vitamin...

The more we learn about genes the more obvious it becomes that nutrition is the key to health, including bone health. A gene regulatory protein called Maf has now been identified which is needed in order to change bone stem cells into the important bone-building carpenters called osteoblasts. Too many free radicals, or the use of the diabetes drugs...

Increasing evidence shows adverse effects of antidepressant medications on bone health. Discover natural ways to strengthen bones and support your mood.

Many proponents of the acid-alkaline theory of health believe that animal protein is acid forming because if you bake it in an oven acid ash is what is left. Such people then go on to claim that since animal protein is acid forming it leeches calcium out of bones and causes bone loss, even though not a single study has ever demonstrated this happening....

Dietary supplements can help bolster bones and protect against factors that induce bone wear and tear, enabling a common sense path to bone health based on time-tested principles of nutrition. There are also exciting scientific discoveries that explain more clearly how nutrients can help you keep your bones in good shape.

A new study shows that as digestive inflammation in children and teens increases their risk for poor bone density rises. The failure to optimize bone growth in formative years leads to much higher risk of fractures and broken bones in later life.

Vitamin K is needed for bone strength, calcium transport, vascular health, muscle strength, and more.
